Happy International Yoga Day!

Whats the difference between Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Sleep?

On International Yoga Day, which coincides with the Summer Solstice (the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere), we're reminded of the light within us and the power of deep rest.

While many of us rely on sleep for rest and recovery, Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, offers a unique state of conscious relaxation that differs profoundly from ordinary sleep.

Yoga Nidra is practiced lying in Savasana (a lying down rest pose), where a guided meditation takes you through stages of body awareness, breath focus, and visualisation. Unlike regular sleep, where consciousness fades, Yoga Nidra maintains a state of awareness between waking and sleeping. It’s often described as a “conscious sleep” where the body rests deeply, yet the mind remains quietly alert.

This ancient practice can help manage stress, improve sleep quality, and cultivate emotional clarity. Studies show that even 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra may equal the restfulness of hours of sleep, which makes it a powerful complement, especially during seasons of increased daylight and activity.

As the Summer Solstice gifts us more light and energy, Yoga Nidra invites us to balance that with intentional stillness. Just as nature cycles through light and dark, our bodies and minds benefit from both dynamic action and deep rest. On this symbolic day of sun and renewal, Yoga Nidra offers a gentle yet transformative way to reconnect, recharge, and restore, not by escaping awareness, but by embracing it fully.
